Please continue to check DHS’s REAL ID webpage for the most up-to-date information on individual state compliance as status can change over time. You can find a list of identification accepted by the Transportation Security Administration on TSA’s website. Travelers may also check with their state’s driver’s licensing agency about how to acquire a REAL ID compliant license.

Passport News:

The State Department will discontinue its practice of providing extra passport pages by the end of the year. Travelers will have to renew their passport when their pages run out, though the agency said it will offer a larger, 52-page book for new passport holders.

Things you didn’t know about your passport:

Most countries require your passport be valid for at least 6 months from the date of your return.

Anyone under the age of 16, will have a passport issued that is valid for 5 years. Anyone over the age of 16, will have a passport issued that is valid for 10 years.

Fall is the best time to renew your passport. According to the State Department, the best time of year to renew your passport is early autumn when applications are at a low before Thanksgiving and holiday rushes.

You don’t have to pay for a passport photo!The picture must be a 2×2 square, unaltered and on a white background, but you’re allowed to take it at home! The rules do not stipulate that you stand in line for hours at Walgreens.

You may get barred from boarding if your passport doesn’t have enough blank pages. “Some countries require that your passport has two to four blank visa/stamp pages,” reads the State Department website. “Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement in not met.”

If you obtained your passport after 2007, there’s an electronic chip in it. That chip on the back stores the same personal info printed on your passport’s photo page, plus a biometric identifier (aka a digital image of your face). If you have one of these “e-passports,” agents can use facial recognition technology to confirm the passport is indeed yours.
